How do you guys think Boris Johnson would do? Despite being pro Brexit, he seems fairly moderate and he is from London where the party took a big hit in support.
I'm pretty sure after being the front man for the leave campaign, boris' reputation amongst socially liberal young voters has been permanently destroyed, which was a big part of his appeal.
He also has very few friends amongst Tory MPs, which will make it quite difficult for him to become Tory leader in the first place. His best chance to becoming PM was probably during the leadership contest in 2016 TBH.
